Pistorius, 28, has been jailed for 12 months and will spend the rest of his sentence under what South African law calls “correctional supervision,” according to the parole board.

According to reports, a lawyer for the victim’s family says they believed he would get an early release and are opposed to it. The lawyer also mentioned that the family said nothing could bring their daughter back.

While under house arrest, the runner will face restrictions such as gun ownership and will continue psychotherapy, reports BBC.

Pistorius, also known as “The Blade Runner,” shot to fame at the 2012 London Olympics as the first double-amputee to ever participate in the event.
